The first appeal on the bail judgement was also struck off the roll at the High Court of South Africa, North West Division, as his application was not in order. Senior state advocate Benny Kalakgosi has prepared heads of argument to oppose the application. 

"An application has been submitted to the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions in North West, Dr Rachel Makhari, for the matter to be transferred to a higher court, owing to its serious nature," says Mamothame.

According to police reports, Kula's wife was murdered on 27 November 2022 at their house in Kanana, Orkney, in what appeared to be a robbery. She was found with a stab wound on her back, but the object that was used for her alleged murder has not been recovered. The matter was reported by the medical facility where she was allegedly transported by the accused to receive medical attention. Kula told the police he was not present at his home when the incident occurred.

Following thorough investigations by the police, he was linked to the alleged murder, and he was arrested on Friday, 20 January 2023, and charged with murder. Police investigations are still underway. He remains in police custody until his next court appearance.
